Ancient Icons and Symbols in Lia Sturua’s Poetry

Summary/Abstract: The ancient world is multi-layered and many works of art are based on it. It is compelling how the existing motifs, faces and symbols can be redefined by a writer or someone from the literary world. Modern art pieces create a brand-new space for a manner of thought and interpretation as well as enrich the piece itself. Lia Sturua is one of the 70s acclaimed poets. Her work is interesting and highly appreciated. Her poems are not just diverse because of their unique form, but the ideas are expressed in a way that is memorable for the readers. Paradigms in poetic pieces are reexamined and often it seems that opposing words coexist harmoniously. In her poetry, ancient symbols acquire a new meaning. This world is unusual for the author and has the possibility of constant thought and discovery. I will observe what features distinguish the selected samples and what contexts enrich the already existing sources. One of the most interesting poems is “Ancient Sonnet”, through artistic reminiscences, the poet reminds us of the cruelty and love that characterized the period mentioned above: “White Plague”, “Hot elite of marble”, “Bronze hero swimming in a lake of blood”... These patterns of syntagms evoke the faces of the ancient world from the reader’s memory and the main meaning of the sonnet is achieved precisely by decoding them. Then, a whole story comes alive in the recipient’s mind.
